life lessons

In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday.Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older.
And, there on television, she said it was "exciting." Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day... like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first. The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words..
Maya Angelou said this:

• "I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on , and it will be better tomorrow."
• "I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back."
• "I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision."
• "I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one."
• "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
  
• "I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back."
